Lean Coordinators Meeting
Join us in the third of our 3-month series on lean organizational and leadership development with Bob DeKoch, President of Boldt Construction, leading a firm that is a very early adopter of lean for projects and for their company’s entire enterprise. Bob will add great depth to our leadership development discussing books like “Embracing Uncertainty” and will also give the group a peak under the tent on our second book, “Progress Makers” which will be published during this next year. All of this relates very closely to the leadership and culture needed to embrace Lean ideals. Watch for more details shortly.
